The Details Make the Difference!
The simple phrase "The Details Make the Difference!" is not only our guiding principle, but it's what sets us apart in how we transact business and interact with our clients. My husband David and I work together full-time, going the extra mile to ensure that every transaction is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
By working together we are able to provide our clients with different perspectives, greater accessibility and a broader range of skills and abilities. Many people couldn't work with their spouse, but our clients have found that our strengths complement each other to their benefit.
Born and raised in west Michigan, I moved to the Grand Rapids area in sixth grade. I have a B.A. degree in business and biology (pre-med) from Aquinas College. Along with David we have been Realtors since 1992.
I continue to be actively involved in the Realtor community and as a volunteer leader for many civic and charitable organizations in the greater Grand Rapids area. I have also been fortunate enough to be the recipient of several awards for home design, decorating and home staging skills. In my spare time you can always find me in my flower gardens.
